*Keep “Hot” Oils Away from Children:
Oils such as oregano, cinnamon, thyme, eucalyptus, mountain savory, lemon, and orange… or blends like Thieves, PanAway, Releive It, and Exodus II should be stored away from children (although, really, I keep all my oils away from my children!). These are also the types of oils that should always be diluted for both children and adults. If a child swallows an essential oil:

• Seek immediately emergency medical attention, if necessary
• Give the child milk, cream, yogurt, or another safe, oil-soluble liquid to drink
